Chelsea midfielder leaning towards Man Utd transfer

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

The Blues graduate will enter the final year of his contract this summer and he has yet to agree terms over a renewal.

Mount has apparently made the desire to move on and The Athletic claim that he has the preference to join United.

Furthermore, the Red Devils share a similar stance on the player. Erik ten Hag is a huge admirer of the Blues graduate.

Meanwhile, The Daily Mail claim that United could be prepared to pay as much as £55 million to sign the 24-year-old.

Mount has also been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool but he has a clear preference to join the Red Devils this summer.

United could guarantee him a regular role in the number eight spot. He could replace Christian Eriksen next season.

Apart from Mount, United are also keen on landing West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice during the summer.
